Abstract

In the age of acceleration and mastery of technology, time saving is an inevitable necessity. And consequently, saving the Speech is a plausible way to make the most of opportunities. In different periods of Persian language, briefness has been the dominant rule in rhetoric and has remained valuable works in Poetry and prose in the manner of narration. In this research, after defining the literary genre of Minimalism and expressing its features, in connection with the set goals, the narratives of Rozeh khold Majd khafi are explored from a minimalist perspective and explained the structural similarities of this new genre with storybooks. After reading the text, it was found that they were technically equivalent to minimalist structural patterns such as briefness and compactness, simplicity of design, time and place constraints, and characters, benefiting from an attractive theme and simplicity of language. And in some aspects, such as the social status of the characters, the mix with literary figures of speech, verses and traditions, ethical and social themes, the narration of the past tense, and the presence of supernatural elements differs with the elements of minimalism. Research Method based on Libraryresearch and the research findings are processed in a descriptive-analytic way.
